An intense book, dealing with love, lost love, death. Pollack has a gift for creating scenes that resonate and stick with you long after reading. ( )

Yeah, I finally finished this one by making myself. I didn't really enjoy it. It's a mythcentric highly literary, gynocentric book. The only stable relationships are Lesbian and the world, although it's very close to our own, including names of countries etc, rides on the back of a turtle. The relationship between a few generations of women and Godmother Night - Death. People who like magic realism would probably like this one, I didn't really and was left with a bad feeling in my mouth after it - and a feeling of guilt, because that sort of thing isn't supposed to affect my reading, on hindsight even if the characters - or some of the characters were heterosexual I'd probably still not like it.
